Chapter 156: Jealousy
Thanks to Jiang Xuanjing's reward, the alliance joined...... What a league! ^_^
***************
After firing another volley of armor-piercing shells, the German tanks "rumbled" forward...... This was to compress the space of the British army, especially in the rear of the British army, and a commando group of "Stuart" tanks, under the cover of the "No. 3" tank, quickly interspersed with the British ranks to cut off the British retreat.
It was a tank captured by the Germans during the battle against the British 7th Panzer Division, and Colonel Albridge incorporated it into the 5th Panzer Regiment after capturing it, and ordered the tankmen who drove the tanks to learn how to operate them while marching with the troops.
The German tank crews learned so quickly that they were now able to fight without stress...... However, this is also due to the special nature of this battle.
This is an ambush battle, if the British army is fooled out, their tanks will definitely be powerless under the blow of the "No. 3" tank, so the "Stuart" will not be in much danger to participate in the battle, and this opportunity can also give them a chance to practice actual combat.
In addition, the British 15th Panzer Division was mostly armed with "Matilda" and "Valentine" tanks, which is one of the reasons why Colonel Albridge dared to put "Stuart" into battle...... Otherwise, there will be "Stuart" on both sides of the enemy, and it will be a night when it is difficult to tell the difference, and the battle will be a melee where it is impossible to distinguish between friend and foe.
But now, the input of "Stuart" has left the British scratching their heads...... Because many of them knew this tank and knew that it was the equipment of the United States to support the British army, their first reaction was that it was a friendly army that had come to reinforce them.
There was even a cheer from some of the British soldiers...... As a result, it attracted a dense rain of bullets.
As previously stated, the "Stuart", although not powerful against tanks, had powerful firepower to suppress infantry...... Each tank had four machine guns firing at the same time, and thirty-three were more than a hundred, and the bullets were like a hurricane blowing in the British infantry, and all of them fell in an instant.
(Note: The Stuart had a total of five machine guns, and the machine guns above the turret were generally used for anti-aircraft and sometimes for suppressing enemy infantry, although they were difficult to operate while the tanks were moving.) )
As a result, the British found that they had been surrounded by German tanks, with no way out and no way back, and the "No. 3" tank was "rumbling" towards them......
Qin Chuan and his comrades-in-arms followed the "No. 3" tank and advanced towards the British army, and there were British corpses everywhere along the way, but they couldn't see it because of the darkness and the cover of the wheat field, and only when they stepped on a pile of soft things did they realize that they had stepped on a corpse.
But at this time, there was no time to pay attention to these, Qin Chuan only knew that he kept pulling the trigger at the enemy, one shot after another, and he didn't need to aim at all, there were enemies everywhere in front of him, they were like small fish that had been caught in the net, because the advance space of the tank was compressed and became denser and denser...... It's so dense that a random shot can hit two or more enemies.
The British army had no way to escape, on the other side of the wheat field was the Esplanade, and further north of the Esplanade was the cliff of the strange rocks, which was more than 30 meters high, and below was the sea...... Of course, some soldiers who are familiar with the nature of the water will risk jumping off a cliff to escape, but they may still end up falling to their deaths, because there are many rocks below, and only a few are lucky enough to jump into the water to escape.
Finally, a New Zealand officer shouted at the German tank: "Don't shoot, we surrender, don't shoot!" ”
The New Zealand and British soldiers raised their hands, and the sound of gunfire slowly subsided.
The battle finally ended in a more humane way.
In this battle, the Germans killed and wounded more than 2,000 British soldiers and captured more than 6,000 prisoners, most of whom were of the New Zealand 2nd Infantry Division, which was almost completely wiped out in this battle.
More importantly, most of the last 100 tanks and armored vehicles of the British 15th Panzer Division were destroyed, and 28 were captured...... However, as said before, the Germans were not interested in the infantry tanks of the British.
As for the infantry regiments of the British 15th Panzer Division, they fled back to Matrum in time because they were at the rear of the troops.
But this also did not help, the New Zealand division, which was more combat-ready, was destroyed, and the tanks were destroyed...... The remnants of the defeated army will have nothing to rely on, and their downfall will only be a matter of time.
Rommel was so surprised by this result that he made a phone call to General Stryker's command and said, "General, I have to admit that you have won a good battle. I couldn't sleep just now because of Matrou's headache, but after the sound of gunfire...... I heard that you almost wiped out the British! ”
"Thanks for the compliment, General!" General Stryk replied.
Rommel used to look down on Stryker, and even used the word "coward" to describe Stryker, but now Stryk finally spat out a bad breath.
"How did you do that?" Rommel asked again: "Do you know that the British are going to break out tonight?" ”
Rommel knew nothing about Stryker's plans, partly because of Stryker's feud with Rommel, and partly because Stryk wanted to keep it a secret...... After all, the most important thing in this kind of thing is secrecy, and if there is a little leak in the message, it will be a loss.
"No, General!" General Stryk replied: "It's not that we know anything, it's that we let the British out!" ”
"You let the British out?" Rommel was a little confused.
"Yes!" General Stryk said, "Remember the sergeant who once saved you?" He's a sergeant now! ”
"Remember!" Rommel nodded, and then realized something: "You mean...... Was he the one who came up with the idea to give you victory? ”
"Yes!" General Stryk said: "Although I am reluctant to say ...... But this sergeant is a genius, general. He was born for the battlefield, and sometimes I feel ...... He's in command, not me, because I'm pretty much fighting on his advice right now! It's frustrating, isn't it? I tried several times without his advice, but I found myself with no choice because he was always right! ”
General Stryk was a little jealous.
In fact, it was not only General Stryker who felt the same way, but even Rommel himself felt the same way......
"God, a sergeant!" After hanging up the phone, Rommel said to himself: "His wisdom and talent have made us generals feel ashamed!" ”
